Tetra Vaal (Third World Robocop) http://mitchmckenna.com/post/3366/tetra-vaal-third-world-robocop What if... This video features a newly developed robotic cop patrolling the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa. Well, not really. This is actually a spec corporate video created by Neill Blomkamp of The Embassy Digital Effects Inc. for a fictional company named Tetra Vaal. It is one of the best digital effects that I've seen in a long time. Enjoy. ]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:43:00 -0400 http://mitchmckenna.com/post/3366/tetra-vaal-third-world-robocop/tetra-vaal-third-world-robocop Dancing Robot - Manoi Go http://mitchmckenna.com/post/2564/manoi-go
